Real Prices of New Compact SUVs

February 7, 2019

If you're in the market for a new compact SUV, take a look at the following tables I compiled using TrueCar's average selling prices. These days, MSRP doesn't mean much since hardly anyone expects to pay that price. But it can be difficult to determine which models are actually cheapest without knowing what kind of average discount they're selling for. Some have discounts of nearly 20%, while others - such as the 2019 Toyota RAV4, are selling for only a few percent below MSRP.

The table below is sorted by biggest average discount off MSRP, with the 2018 Ford Escape having the biggest average discount (19.2% after incentives).

You can sort the table by clicking on any column. For examle, if you want to see the cheapest SUVs, sort by "Avg" column and you'll see the 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross is selling at the lowest average price of $22,703.

My Recommendation for Car Shoppers

TrueCar, Edmunds, and 1-800 Car Show are the quickest way to see the lowest car prices in your area. These sites show you no-haggle prices from dealers closest to you - and the deals are usually really good. This should be the first step you take when negotiating your car price. Follow this up with my checklist to make sure you squeeze out every last bit of savings.
